In the previous incidents they have occurred in regions where products are extracted, processed and manufactured. However, accidents can also occur during transportation of these products . A good example is breakout of extreme fire as a result of human activities.

Recovery program mes often involve purchasing and reconstruction of property for the victims.

There is no absolute way to prevent disasters. However, people can interact carefully with the environment and resources they have hence reducing the chances of occurrence of disasters. Preventing a tragedy is better than embarking on the healing process after it has occurred. It saves people unnecessary economic strain, emotional and psychological pains they would have gone through in case of a disaster. It is important to note that despite the precautions and mitigation measures that we might put in place, we can never fully prevent calamities hence they can occur any time.

The body encourages individual effort in preventing misadventures. This is one of the ways that the community can support the body in ensuring the environment is safe for human survival. People should open their eyes to the fact that the organization works for them and therefore cooperate. Initiating individual effort will help a big deal because most of the calamities are due to careless practices by humans.

Most of the times when disaster strikes a place, faith groups are the first to help. In the past incidences once a disaster stricken area is open for people to help, faith based organization arrive before the government can come in to offer their support.

These organizations are met to offer help to victims. In this way they are able to build stronger relationships with the public and even share the Gospel. Human beings have been found to be more open to people when they are going through difficulties or hurting. The ministry takes advantage of this and views it as a chance to demonstrate the love of Jesus. This has happened in the past over and over.
